Abstract

The choice of the most suitable activation functions for artificial neural networks significantly affects training time and task performance. Breast cancer detection is currently based on the use of neural networks and their selection is an element that affects performance. In the present work, reference information on activation functions in neural networks was analyzed. Exploratory research, comprehensive reading, stepwise approach, and deduction were applied as a method. It resulted in phases of comparative evaluation inactivation functions, a quantitative and qualitative comparison of activation functions, and a prototype of neural network algorithm with activation function to detect cancer; It was concluded that the final results put as the best option to use ReLU for early detection of cancer.
